So now we have a date. According to the iMore website, its sources are saying that the iPad 3 will be introduced on March 7. This is in sync with the earlier report by a usually reliable website that the event would be the first week in March. And March 7 is a Wednesday — the day that Apple has often used to launch a new product. Plus, there was the recent report of a major retailer discounting the iPad 2, which is usually in indication of clearing out stock in anticipation of a new model.
